The Los Angeles Rams are currently struggling, sitting at a 2-3 record with their fate hanging in the balance. Despite the early season slump, the team has shown signs of progress recently.

It's crucial for the team to quickly return Garrett and regain their momentum before the critical bye week, as this may be one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory if they fail to rebound.
